Mac is a knife... And Mac the Knife is a famous character in The Threepenny Opera (L'opéra de 4 sous)
Wikipedia mentions that:
"Mack the Knife" or "The Ballad of Mack the Knife", originally "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for their music drama Die Dreigroschenoper, or, as it is known in English, The Threepenny Opera. It premiered in Berlin in 1928 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm. The song has become a popular standard recorded by many artists, including a US number one hit for Bobby Darin.
There are other versions:
with lyrics:
A different style:
also in French
also in Italian:
And of course in German:
twice, to be forgiven by Mrs D' for confusing Italian and German!!!!
That's why Mac was the only one who encountered success!!!!
